I'm a very skilled talker and I try to keep things with Dad from getting emotional, but it is unavoidable. He doesn't understand, even when I soft-sell ideas.
...He "can't live with me", or "this" and he thinks his Family is "out to get him".
To make matters worse, my stroke-riddled Mom pokes at him and aggravates him, so I get to deal with the Fallout.
God is Hilariously Awesome! Since I never had children of my own, He granted me "Children that were Just Like Me."... *HAH!*
I think I have put The Temporary Lid on the situation, but I just had to vent a little.
I'll not be taking questions. YES... I have "thought of it" and I'm as out-ahead of "it" as I can possibly be.
Tonight is not the night for inane appeasement of others' questions. I just had to Vent.

Our research shows that fitting the heat-recovery system along 50-60% of the planned route - or 60,000 square meters of tunnel surface area - would cover the heating needs of 1,500 standard 80m2 apartments, or as many as 4,000.

be failing to provide heat to thousands of naive, freezing customers. When queried, Metro
officials will scream "Tough shit muthafucka!" and slam down the phone.

Years ago, my dad had to attend a retreat of sorts (company thing), where they sought to make folks more accessible or something.
One trainer tried to coax my dad into speaking in softer tones, to appear less intimidating when interacting with others.
My dad snorted, "That's not gonna happen, son."
Oh, forgot to mention this, Dad is a Marine with a very strong voice. He sang bass with Barbershop Quartets for decades. When he spoke, we kids hopped to with alacrity.
My speaking voice is not quite as authoritative as his, but I refuse to do the soft-speak up-talking bullshit.

"In the prevailing optimism, the resources of the Exchequer were believed to be limitless. The public debt of the island, accumulated over a century, was in twelve years more than doubled; its assets dissipated by improvident administration; the people misled into the acceptance of false standards; and the country sunk in waste and extravagance. The onset of the world depression found the island with no reserves, its primary industry neglected and its credit exhausted. At the first wind of adversity, its elaborate pretensions collapsed like a house of cards. The glowing visions of a new Utopia were dispelled with cruel suddenness by the cold realities of national insolvency, and today a disillusioned and bewildered people, deprived in many parts of the country of all hopes of earning a livelihood, are haunted by the grim specters of pauperism and starvation."

Yup, it sucks.
It's pretty much designed. I asked for permission to make it from the Boss, and got bupkis for response, so I pulled the plug.
I'll probably gin up a couple copies on the sly for the next CO Morondezvous as a donation, since it's on the house, with no question of money changing hands.
I had been planning to sell at cost anyway, but I don't want to accept money without permission.

I had to look up desert vs desert vs dessert.
Desert as in the hot dry place, and desert island, and to desert something comes from the Latin, desertum, meaning "thing that is abandoned".
The second form, as in just deserts, come from Old French, which I didn't know. The French word is "deserte" which means "worthy to have".
Now, dessert comes from French as well. The word means "last course of a meal", which itself comes from a word that means "to clear the table".

Correct. The SA is further south. The closet 'big' fault to Ridgecrest is the Garland fault.
Up the western side of China Lake are a series of broken faults that look like broken, uncooked spaghetti noodles. That's where tonight's quake happened.
Here's a link to the USGS interactive fault map. Takes a while to load.

One can still occasionally get a show from the Marines when driving thru Pendleton on the I-5. Not like the old days - full amphibious landings, armored vehicles roaring along both sides of the freeway, choppers flying low over you. But some Ospreys, choppers, armored vehicle convoys, maybe an LCAC or two landing on the beach.

They did that when they replaced the oil pump. I dunno if they "checked" for anything, but they put in a new pump and new oil. They did not check the bearings at the time, but they seem to be working fine, so I guess we dodged a bullet there.
My opinion now is that in the first thousand miles all the stuff that had decayed from sitting for so long broke, and once all that was fixed the engine is running like it should.

Qdp, definitely do the 395. Beautiful. And I haven't done more than pause to get gas there in the shadow of Mt. Whitney [Lone Pine? forget].
Also, stop at Manzanar. But get my suggested reading *before* you do - the exhibit's not *that* bad - why TF do I have to rate an *American* national historic site like I would a Japanese "peace museum"?? - but still need to prep before to have the context.

Was watching it on cable, back east, when a CNN guy was doing a stand-up live report in front of one of the collapsed I-1O overpasses. Much drama. "Year or more" to fix it - and the 1O was one of "the busiest freeways in America", blah blah blah.
Laughed, turned to the person watching with me, and noted that with incentives, the roads would be repaired in weeks. Guess how it turned out.
Reminds me of the Kuwait oil fires - 385 years to put them out, permanent Gaia damage to the Gulf, no monsoon in south Asia [seriously], thus huge crisis for the world, cats and dogs living together, biblical stuff.
Incentives [big $$$], contractors from dozens of countries pile in ...... fires out fairly quickly. Duh.

Hope so, although the AC clutch is making noise. I'll prolly have to get it replaced. I just left it off for the trip home, I didn't want to deal with the compressor locking up and breaking a belt, I know I'd have been stuck until after the holiday if that had happened.

That's something not to be neglected. When the A/C is not on, the clutch pulley acts as an idler for the serpentine belt. With a serpentine belt system, like all modern vehicles have, every idler and every driven pulley has to be in top shape, or the belt gets thrown, and nothing gets driven. When the A/C compressor and clutch got pooched on my '96 Suburban, I was able to get an "compressor replacement idler", which is just basically an idler wheel of the right size, mounted on an aluminum casting which bolts up in place of the compressor. If such a unit is available for your RV, I'd recommend buying one, and toss it in the toolbox somewhere. That way, if the A/C clutch goes, you can unbolt the compressor, tie it aside, and bolt the idler in its place, and motor on down the road.

Ouch! At least it should be covered by insurance. My area of Alberta has a bad record for hail. My house took a real beating in '06, I think it was. Roof and siding both effectively destroyed. I got the insurance settlement, and kicked in some more money, and went for a steel roof, and stucco exterior for both house and garage. Low maintenance.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 06, 2019 01:10 AM (WG6O9)
'd actually be okay with 20 years (which she won't get). Here's why: the food supply is very vulnerable; her exposure of this weakness is a problem. Think the episode with Tylenol. If someone wanted to do real damage to civil society, adulterating food or water is very, very doable. ARs got nothing on this for causing terror and sowing the kind of mistrust that eats away at the trust that makes civilization possible. I'd have her publicly broken on the wheel whole children threw rotten vegetables at her and dwarves capered about.

I sprang for the extra dollars to replace the shingles with a metal roof.
Some metal roofs look like they belong on farm sheds. But the roof I got looks like regular shingles, and it is much more durable. Better is better.
Anyway, this is just to say that metal roofs can actually be attractive.
Oh wait, there is a downside. The shingles can't be walked on. So much for roof Christmas decorations.

Because of differences in geology, an East Coast quake is felt over a vastly larger area than a comparable West Coast quake. Because California is so broken up by faults, even a large quake is only felt over a fairly small area.
This is why it's a good idea to submit a "Did You Feel It?" report on the USGS website even for a small quake. The more data points they get, the more detailed maps they can make. And you're doing your part for Science!

My roof is called a "standing-rib" roof. Continuous metal sheets from ridge to eaves. Took the old asphalt shingles off first. It's dark green. I think it looks fine. You see some big-dollar fancy rural homes with that sort of roofing around here. Snow slides off it. And if there is a range fire, well, there's nothing to burn. Steel roof: nothing to ignite; stucco walls: nothing to ignite. It would take a hot, sustained fire to get the studs in the wall burning.

The snow sliding off can be entertaining. Sometimes it comes off like an avalanche. Stucco would certainly protect better than vinyl siding.
Normally that would not even be a consideration, but the neighbor across the street was a little too enthusiastic about celebrating the 4th. He apparently invited everybody he knew to his place for fireworks. This morning the street was badly littered with refuse from the shells.
My neighbor, a Ranger vet with a couple tours in Afghanistan, had 5 to six hours of misery. Sometimes people have no idea of the misery they cause.

My email list is extensive through The Prayer List and I can set something up if you'd like.
I know people that KNOW you, so this would be an easy one.

You have insurance, yes? Time to take the cash and run to NV or AZ.

not earthquake insurance, no. i figured the place has been here since 1966 and has seen and survived everything it was going to see.

I sprang for the extra dollars to replace the shingles with a metal roof.
Some metal roofs look like they belong on farm sheds. But the roof I got looks like regular shingles, and it is much more durable. Better is better.
Anyway, this is just to say that metal roofs can actually be attractive.
Oh wait, there is a downside. The shingles can't be walked on. So much for roof Christmas decorations.

I like metal roofing, even the old stuff. I think it's more attractive than the red tile for some reason. Maybe it reminds me of beach houses?

I'm so sorry. I do know builders up in Reno are desperate to hire trades, so can you swing a hammer or run wires? Flagstaff is booming too. Not a fan of Vegas or Phoenix because of the heat, but you guys are desert dwellers, so maybe you can take it.
Posted by: wasbrenette at July 06, 2019 02:50 AM (Vhkmw)
And the price of insurance is astronomical, and they will only pay about 60% of replacement cost. So, no thanks. We will rely upon savings and elbow grease.

Amazing how venting helps. Even if it only helps for that fleeting moment. Anything to keep your sanity in this down the rabbit-hole adventure.
You know that i know that prayers are heard and answered. Prayers up for you, my friend.

On the other hand, she has forgotten most of what she was mad about, so she's not quite as nasty as she once was. She is still quite sure I am an imbecile and can't take care of myself, let alone the family I have, or her, or the rest of the family I routinely look after. I'm so damned dumb I stuck around to look after her, after all.
I suspect I will also go senile at some point, and I just hope I'm not half the pain in the ass she can be, but then, I will still be someone's mom, and he will still be my kid.
That darned fourth commandment.

Lately, it's the insane ideas mom has about stuff. There is no convincing her. I'm the "stupidest person" for not knowing ...whatever it is. Her lack of being able to come up with the correct words often leads to more confusion.
I'm finding that for her, the slide downhill seems to level off for a short time, then starts again at a quicker pace.

When my wife's aunt was in assisted living, with beginnings of dementia, she would hang out with another lady that was a little more so. When we would visit and sit with the aunt in the day room, my job was to keep the other lady occupied with what conversation I could. She would ask the same questions every 5 minutes, usually weather related, so I made a game of it.
How many times can I answer the same question differently, but still mostly true.

Not bad. Just wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. Only had a spoonful. The pralines were so frozen I was worried I'd break a tooth!
Ice cream (or custard in this case) used to be my go to when I needed comfort food. Not so much anymore.

And the old standby, a new math workbook that mom would get before the summer and give me assignments from.

I would get carsick. Every. Single. Time. There would be no book reading while riding. Only looking out the FRONT window.
I loved maps, and I would sneak looking at it to keep track of where we were.

My buddy would go with his family fishing for 2 weeks in Northern Wi every year to the same lodge and cabin. The week before he was like a little kid with anticipation. On Saturday morning he would waking everyone up about 4 AM (his usual waking up time anyway) to get "This show on the road"
His son was always ready to go. As his daughters got older they would whine about getting up early and want to shower and do their hair etc.
He would say "Shower? We're going fishing!!!"
